Can you spot the difference? It takes me about 3 minutes to complete the cube but my lego version took me 4 hours. Hope you like it.

Thank you all for the kind comments. @ Myles - sorry I dont use LDD but hopefully you can see from the last few photos how I did it. @ Marcus - thanks mate I saw tom's response. I cant believe it was your first, hopefully it will be the first of many. :D |

Congrats to you, too! For me it's the first time, you know ... - Great you added some pics of the mechanism, looks very ingenious! -Concerning your question regarding the baseplate, Tom has answered it in the meantime, he was quicker than me ... ;-) |

Thanks for the comments guys and a merry Christmas you all. 30 seconds a solve is incredible. My record is 2 mins 50 seconds. You must solve multiple things at once. I solve each layer at a time so i might be able to do it in about 2 mins, but i doubt any quicker unless I learn a new method. @ topsy - that sounds brilliant, I would love to see it. |
|

Awesome! I'm a about 30 seconds a solve, though. Anyone feel obliged to make a fully functional one? The die as a core idea certainly is useful :) |

I have been able to construct a Rubik's cube of identical dimensions, that can be rotated in all directions. Unfortunately, it was flimsy most of the time, so I never considered uploading it. |

Quoting Ian McCaskill
This is very clever! I know a friend who would definitley want one of these (he can solve the Rubik's Cube very quickly). It would be awesome if you could think up a design that would make it completely functional...that would make a good CUUSOO project. (If you don't know what it is, search for it. It is a Lego website.) Merry Christmas!
--Jesus saves, God bless <><
Thanks Ian, I didn't think to put it on CUUSOO but that would be awesome. I think TLG would need to make some specialised pieces to make that possible. Thanks and Merry Chistmas to you too.

@ Noah - Thanks, I am honoured :D. @ Man. – Thanks for the comment, I can make all the sides spin using the dice but the problem is the corners. There is no way of making them slide around as you spin. Hence why I have only made it spin in one plane. To be honest I don’t think it is possible to make a fully working cube at this scale. Maybe at a huge scale but even then it would be extremely difficult to allow the corners to slide around. I am now going to take this apart and build something else with these pieces - watch this space ;) |

Nice mechanism, but quite complicated, i would suggest taking off the cube you have in the middle, and swapping it with 6 2x2 tiles with 1 stud in the middle and 4 90* bricks, that should give it the ability to spin all directions (in theory) |

That is a superb build, and I guess much trickier to make than it looks. 3 minutes to complete the cube, I could never peal sickers that quickly.
Thanks David. It was much trickier than it looks, the internal frame was a huge challenge as it needs fixings on all sides and correctly spaced to create the gaps in-between, and of course the layers spin. Otherwise it would just be a 6x6 cube (with no gaps). I should say that it has taken 30 years and 3 minutes to solve ;) |

For it its able to do that aswell, then you have a hit for sure |
